An alleged cell phone video showing an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer shooting Renee Good, filmed from the shooter’s angle, was given to right-wing website Alpha News on Friday.
HuffPost has not independently verified the video, which was also shared by Fox News, CBS News and other outlets.
It’s the first time the public has seen alleged footage of the Minneapolis incident from the angle of the shooter, ICE agent Jonathan Ross. It provides some of the clearest audio of the words he, Good and her wife, Becca Good, exchanged in the final moments of her life.
The clip shows Good telling Ross as he approaches her car, “It’s fine, dude, I’m not mad at you,” as her wife, standing on the road outside the car, appears to film Ross, telling him, “We don’t change our plates every morning. It’ll be the same plates when you come talk to us later” ― an apparent reference to ICE agents reportedly changing or removing their license plates in violation of state law.
“You want to come at us? I say go get yourself some lunch, big boy,” said Good’s wife, who shared Friday that the two had stopped on the street that day to “support our neighbors.”
The camera pans up to the sky as Good drives away and Ross fatally shoots the 37-year-old mother. It remains unclear from the footage whether Good’s car made contact with Ross, but previously released footage showed her angling her car away from him when she began driving. It also showed Ross walking away from the scene after he shot her.
The new video includes audio of someone saying, “Fucking bitch,” seconds after Ross shot Good.
Vice President JD Vance shared the video on social media, claiming it backed up the Trump administration’s claims that Good was threatening Ross’s life.
“Watch this, as hard as it is,” Vance wrote. “Many of you have been told this law enforcement officer wasn’t hit by a car, wasn’t being harassed, and murdered an innocent woman. The reality is that his life was endangered and he fired in self-defense.”
He also slammed coverage of the shooting, suggesting the video was proof that outlets were “lying about this innocent law enforcement officer.”
“You should all be ashamed of yourselves,” Vance wrote.
